"C'mon Al-Qaeda, go to war against the Chinese.How about it anyway ? Give it a try. See what happens . Whaddaya got to lose ?" That I'd like to see. After all my bad mouthing of the Red Chinese over the years this is a war where I'd be cheering them on. Kinda like how the BJP Hindus were, back in late 2008, early 2009, about Gaza. I received daily opinion pieces that amounted to-- "Yay, rah, rah, Israel, kick their butts REAL HARD." Not too smart ? ? ? You deserve the "Understatement of the Year Award" :-) I'd say we are as much on the same page here as it possible to get.

Oh yeah, that'll work. Hey, Al Qaeda, the Chinese are not far from you. Their army could almost overrun Afghanistan, ALONE. Forget about them needing a coalition. World opinion? China doesn't seem to care most of the time. I don't think that this is very smart. David _ "There is no virtue in compulsory government charity, and there is no virtue in advocating it. A politician who portrays himself as "caring" and "sensitive" because he wants to expand the government's charitable programs is merely saying that he's willing to try to do good with other people's money. Well, who isn't? And a voter who takes pride in supporting such programs is telling us that he'll do good with his own money -- if a gun is held to his head."--P. J.

"The atheist criminals have long used the most despicable, cruel and brutal means against Muslims in Turkistan," said Abu Yayha al- Libi, who is sometimes identified as the commander in Afghanistan of the international terrorist network al-Qaeda. "Thousands of Muslims were killed, and no one knows about them," he said in the 20-minute video, referring to Uighurs living in China. Muslims with historical and linguistic ties to the Turkic peoples of Central Asia, Uighurs live in the western Chinese province of Xinjiang, which Islamists call East Turkistan. According to the Washington-based terrorism monitoring group IntelCenter, the tape was made around late July or early August and released Tuesday by al-Sahab Media, al-Qaeda's media arm. Nearly 200 people were killed and thousands injured or arrested in clashes between Uighurs and Han Chinese in Xinjiang in July. In August, the Turkistan Islamic Party, a Uighur separatist group that claimed responsibility for a 2008 bombing in Shanghai, used similar language to call for attacks in response to the "massacre" of Uighurs in Xinjiang. "There is no path to salvation or toward lifting oppression and injustice save by returning to religion," al-Libi said. Muslims "must sincerely prepare for jihad (holy war) and take up arms against the ruthless invaders." "Consecutive Chinese governments have worked hard to sever every link between the wounded people of Turkistan and the Muslim nation," he said. "They are working to destroy them so that their numbers will decrease and their Islamic identity will be dissolved." Al-Libi called for "a media campaign to tell the Muslim nation the truth about what is going on there and to expose Chinese colonialism." ____________________________________ _______________________________________________ Centroids mailing list: [email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) _http://radicalcentrism.com/mailman/listinfo/centroids_radicalcentrism.com_ (http://radicalcentrism.com/mailman/listinfo/centroids_radicalcentrism.com) Archives at _http://radicalcentrism.org/pipermail/centroids_radicalcentrism.com/_ (http://radicalcentrism.org/pipermail/centroids_radicalcentrism.com/) _______________________________________________ Centroids mailing list: [email protected] http://radicalcentrism.com/mailman/listinfo/centroids_radicalcentrism.com Archives at http://radicalcentrism.org/pipermail/centroids_radicalcentrism.com/
